A frustrated Haaland cracked a wry smile after his second straight miss, which well and truly irked Keane.

The ITV pundit said: “Haaland missing a penalty, very lackadaisical.

“Then, he missed another chance and he's smiling.

“Man City strolling around the pitch are really getting on my nerves, not a good sign.”

Keane's sentiment on City was echoed by fellow pundit Ian Wright, who said: “We know Bournemouth are going to force them wide and make them make mistakes.

“That's exactly what Nunes did. This could have been very comfortable.

“They don't seem in the vibe. They don't seem up for it.”

Haaland would eventually get his name on the scoresheet in the 49th minute to level the tie.

He was subbed in the 61st minute after sustaining an injury, with City new boy Omar Marmoush replacing him.

And the Egypt international struck in the 63rd minute to seal a 2-1 win for City and send them to the semi-finals.

It's currently unclear what injury Norway international Haaland is suffering from.

But he sparked serious cause for concern from the Etihad faithful by leaving the Vitality on crutches and in a protective boot.

City's reward for beating Bournemouth is a semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest on April 26.
